Previously, I was using a vertical GPU mount. I thought there may be an issue with the connection, so I plugged the GPU directly into the motherboard. Been playing a game for longer than I have so far. I think that solved the issue. Thanks to everyone for your help

Gotcha. I used memtest86 with 4 passes over the entire 32GB. not entirely sure if that’s thorough enough

Thanks for your reply. Gotcha. I just checked and its not on the list. Lots of similar speeds and capacities from the same manufacturer. Also, it passed a memory stress test fine. That could be it potentially, but I'm not totally sure.

Hi, I have been having serious issues with crashing since my hardware upgrade. I upgraded to a 13th gen i5, asus motherboard and 32GB of DDR5. When playing games (both Control and Detroit Become Human), I have randomly experienced serious crashes. The system is entirely unresponsive, with the audio playing the same droning noise and I have to forcefully power it off. This has occurred when playing on Ubuntu (with proton) and on Windows 11. I have updated the bios and drivers, with no change. I have installed Windows and Ubuntu fresh since the hardware change. It has never happened during normal desktop use, even a memory stress test, only during gaming. I think this must be a hardware problem, as it only started happening after I changed the CPU and Mobo. Does anyone have any ideas? None of the suggestions I have googled have helped. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I currently own the Steelseries H Wireless headset. However, I have noticed that I listen to music more often than I game and I am looking for new headphones. The Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones have stellar reviews and are in my price range. To anyone who has owned both, will I notice a difference in audio quality between the two? I have heard that the Steelseries headset has good sound but I know that headsets are generally worse sounding than headphones and I was hoping someone could put this in context for me. (Sorry if this is an obvious question or has been asked before. I wasn't able to find anything about this specifically) Thank you

That's what I saw too, I even waited for the rain to stop in game, because I thought it was actually lightning. The fact that we both have it makes a driver issue more likely

Right, I did that and I see no improvement. To be fair, the 20 series is brand new and a slightly older game like Witcher 3 might not be optimized for it

Good Idea, but I reduced the memory clock in AORUS as far down as it would go and i still see the glitches.

Just ran it. No artifacts at all.

Hello, I have recently gotten an RTX 2080 and I have been playing witcher. I have noticed artifacts(flashing) on the screen and I don't know why. I have reinstalled Windows and Nvidia drivers and the problem persists I can only bring the card back to MemoryExpress for a couple more days, so I would like some advice on whether a replacement GPU would solve my problem. Here are some screenshots I managed to get from a screen recording: Edit: Just remembered, it seems to get worse as I play. So more time running = more glitches

True, but I think the main problem with that is difficulty. I've used wine on Linux and it's not quite as easy as Proton(and yes I know that Proton is wine).

I have a TicWatch E. If you want a cheap smartwatch for notifications and the other smartwatch-ey things then go for the Ticwatch E.

It makes my CPU pretty happy (although this is at stock)

Maybe I'm overreacting! Thanks!

and the product is 33!
